I find that certain apps conflict with the vibrate. For me it was the latest Opera 9.5 build I had installed. But yes, hard reset will get it working again.

I pressed the reset button on the back to soft reset it until the vibrate came back. It took about 5-6 times. I didn't even wait till it booted up all the way. Just waited for the vibrate to happen at the start of the boot up.

so I got a new phone and put my stuff back on (via spb backup) and my vibrate funtion went out again.

I did a hard reset and it didn't come back.

now thats bad luck....

mines out. hard reset didn't do anything. sprint would not warranty because they said i have water damage which i clearly don't.

anybody know where i could buy a new vibrate motor and install it myself?

don't want to pay 50 dollars for a new phone.

Hey guys feel free to laugh at me, but I once thought my vibrate was dead and it turned out later I had just turned the phone to silent.
Silent = no vibrate
Yeah I felt like an idiot after messing around for like two hours trying everything to get it working. Who would have thought, volume up!?!
And so you know I'm no noob to winmo phones.
